House Lyrics - Lupercalia - Patrick Wolf

Oh, I love this house, I love this house 

Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known 

Oh, I love to hear those conkers fall 

Smash 'em on an Southwark stone 

And I love that here you live with me 

Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known 

'Cause I've been too long a lonely man 

Yes, I've been too long a rolling stone 

So let seasons turn 

Grow paradise garden 

And to my migration 

The native has returned 

Oh, I love the curling of your hair 

Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known 

I see Dylan Thomas in your face 

Recited Butler Yeats there in your grace 

Your grace, your grace 

So let seasons turn 

Grow paradise garden 

And to my migration 

The native has returned 

Returned 

Returned 

And if I had to die today 

Scatter my ashes on this place 

And I live on in your grieving heart 

But until that day that we depart 

Oh, this is the greatest peace I've ever known 

Oh, the greatest peace I've ever known 

Oh, the greatest peace I've ever known 

Only love makes house a home 

Home 

Home 

Home 

This house is home 

Home
